• Description: Xanthine sodium salt monohydrate is a dietary supplement that is used to treat metabolic disorders such as hyperuricemia and gout. It also has antiviral effects against herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) and type-2 (HSV-2). Xanthine sodium salt monohydrate inhibits the production of viral DNA polymerase, which causes cell death by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins vital for cell division. Xanthine sodium salt monohydrate can be used to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in vitro. The mechanism of action is not yet fully understood, but it is thought that xanthine may inhibit phosphodiesterase activity or have a direct effect on the cell membrane.
